I was recently trying to explain "Five Dollar Friday" to someone, who didn't quite get it.At the end of each shooting week, we like to decorate a bucket for "Five Dollar Friday". One of the Set PAs (or, in this picture, Jackie Chan) carries it around, and collects $5 bills from the crew. People either write their name on a scrap of paper, or on the bill itself -- which is defacing currency, but that's neither here nor there....
In fact, if you ever wind up with a $5 bill with a name written in sharpie, it probably came off a film set.
Anyway, at the end of the day, one of the names is drawn -- and the winner gets the entire bucket of money. It's like winning a raffle -- and there can be quite a chunk of change in there. Good manners dictate that you tip the bucket carrier $20 or more, and if you go grab drinks after, the first round is on you.
Happy Friday!
